I've been licensed for 48 years.  I was first WN0LKM back in eastern Iowa. 
In fact, the guy who taught me the code was our friend Lloyd, W3IUU, K0DDA 
at the time.

Subject: 47 years as a ham


Today it has been 47 years since I got my novice at age 14.  I was at =
the Nebraska school for the blind on a Monday when I got a call from my =
mom.  My license had come and I was now WN0ORO.  I hung up and ran for =
the ham shack and worked 80 meters; working a guy about 200 miles away.  =
My 6 months as a novice has been the highlight days of my years as a =
ham.

Phil.
